Governor
Rochas Okorocha has said the South-East deserves better than what it is
currently experiencing as there is no sign to show that Igboland is a
part of Nigeria.
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha
The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has told the visiting
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday that the South East is being
marginalized, saying there is nothing to show that the region is part of
the Nigerian project.
Okorocha stressed that the region had been short-changed,
especially in the areas of appointments and allocation of Federal
projects.
Okorocha who is the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors Forum begged Osinbajo to address the issue.
He said: “No other group in Nigeria that had invested as much
into our nationhood can sing the song of marginalisation as much as
Ndigbo has been made to sing it.
“We have nothing to show that we are part of the Nigerian
project; neither do we have any sense of belonging in the present
government at the national level.
“We have been marginalised both in terms of projects and
appointments. In Imo State, for instance, all we have is a Minister of
State to show for all the efforts and extreme sacrifices we made to
ensure that the All Progressive Congress (APC) had a good outing in the
last general elections.
“I know you are the Acting President and has the ears of the
President. So, there is no better person to tell our painful story than
you. You need to take a second look at what is happening in the
South-East. No serious political appointment, no visible federal
infrastructure so far, to show the presence of Federal Government in the
South- East in general.
“I beg that as the government gives subsequent appointments,
let the qualified sons and daughters of the state and region be
considered.
“Those in business should be considered for federal patronage.
“Imo State played major role in bringing APC to power because
if what had taken place in other states was allowed to happen in Imo
State and other states in the South-East, probably we wouldn’t have had
the APC government today.
“Given the roles that I personally played as a sacrificial lamb
in the South- East during the elections, my state deserves a better
deal.
“There is no Federal Government presence in the oil-producing
areas, and none of our youths benefitted from the Federal Government’s
Amnesty Programme.
“I also use this opportunity to ask for the quick refund of the
money spent by the state on Imo International Cargo Airport and on some
federal roads in the state.”
